Almond-Orange Tossed Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Lavonn Bormuth 

"Another highlight of my Easter menu is this pretty salad, with its slightly sweet homemade dressing and crispy sugar-toasted almonds. I've often taken the salad to potlucks because everyone enjoys it so much. -Lavonn Bormuth Westerville, Ohio"
